Question

Jim suffered heart problems.In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.

When his heart problems led to operation,Jim went through it successfully,and a full recovery was expected.Within days,however,his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation,but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness.He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.

Dr.Bruce Smoller,a psychologist(心理學(xué)家),had had many conversations with him,and the more he learned,the stranger he realized Jim’s case was.When Jim was a child,his father,a teacher,suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover.One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up.His father agreed,but when Jim returned his father had died.Jim’s father was 48.

“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,”Dr. Smoller says.“He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework,his father would have lived.Jim had been troubled by the idea.The operation was the trial(判決) he had expected for forty years.”Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.

Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude(態(tài)度) plays in physical health,and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups.Although most cases are less direct than Jim’s,studies show that childhood events,besides genes,may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer,heart disease and mental illness.

Jim was sent back to operation because ______.

A.his heart didn’t work well

From Smoller’s words,we can infer that ______.

A.Jim’s father cared little about his study

B.Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father

C.Jim thought he would be punished some day

D.Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】D

【小題3】C

【小題4】B

解析:

【小題1】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Within days,however,his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation”可知手術(shù)后Jim的心臟跳動(dòng)不正常，所以再次手術(shù)。

【小題2】這是一道歸納題。從第三段和第四段可以分析出，Jim一直認(rèn)為自己導(dǎo)致了父親的死，所以他認(rèn)為也只能活到48歲，Jim的死和他父親的死有很大關(guān)系，這點(diǎn)讓Smoller教授感到吃驚。

【小題3】這是一道推理題。根據(jù)第四段“Jim had been troubled by the idea.The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years.”可知這個(gè)手術(shù)是Jim等待了40年的判決，也就是說(shuō)Jim一直認(rèn)為自己殺死了父親，會(huì)受到懲罰。

【小題4】這是一道歸納題。根據(jù)最后一段“Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health...studies show that childhood events,besides genes,may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer,heart disease and mental illness.”可知影響身體狀況的有3個(gè)因素：態(tài)度、童年時(shí)期的事情和基因。
